Best to you guys.  You almost had that perfect run in.  The bike looked great and it sounds like you did not have any major mishaps.  When you get home and settled I would like to visit with you and see what I can do to help you get that extra 1/2 mph for next year.

I know I said I was done with this thread, BUT after having to way to much fun at the Bean Bandits party at the Wendover KOA camp ground. I by chance ran into Tman. We had a long talk & a few cold one, he convinced me to come back to landracing.com.......
So CX Race Fans I'm Back.....

I want to thank all the COOL folks that have been following this thread. Your friendly comments & helpful advice was appreciated. I also want to thank everyone that stopped by our pits at Bonneville.  I have been to many race tracks over the years & met some cool people. BUT Salt Freaks are the best ..... :cheers:
If you didn't get to see us run while we were at the salt or you weren't able to make it to Bonneville. Here is a video of our #6 run ,126.044 mph. It wasn't our fasted run ,but it is the best bit of video I took at Bonneville. My little camera just wasn't the best  choice for videos for the conditions out on the salt.

CLICK ON THE PHOTO TO SEE THE VIDEO......

Congratulations on a successful meet.

Looks like a bit of engine work and aftermarket ECU might get you a record.

Was the revlimiter cutting in on the fastest runs?

Cheers

The rev-limiter was something we figured out early on in the build of this bike. We took care of it before we went to Bonneville. It was a easy fix...
You would be surprized what you can get done with a little spit & duct tape LOL

curious as to why you are running on our record (127.307) when there are 2 other records that are slower(126.954 and 126.026).... fyi you would have broken one of those

CHEERS BigDaddy Baggo & JR. :cheers:
Been a while since I have checked in on you crazy Americans. Been walkabout all over Australia the last month or more working on these bloody boats. Don't have much access to a computer where I've been & I no longer have a email account. I met a HOTTIE in a pub with a laptop & she let me log in & say HI. What have you been up to? Now that the bike is up & running strong any plans on running El Mirage?
SPEEDWEEK 2013 is on my calender, but I plan on it every year & it seems like things get mucked up every year.
If I get some $$$ stocked up I'll be there? ? ? ?
